1985 Ferrari 288 GTO Coupe

The Ferrari 288 GTO was the second model in the company's history to wear the Gran Turismo Omologato moniker. It was built to compete in Group B rallying, however the series was disbanded before the 288 GTO ever had a chance to race. Nevertheless, 272 examples were built to homologate the model and they quickly found homes with Ferrari's best clients.

This particular example is the 255th built. It is finished in Rosso Corsa (FER 300/6) over Nero (VM 8500) leather with matching black inserts. It was ordered without power windows or a radio, and is believed to be one of 19 examples ordered as such.

The car was imported to the United States by Robert A. Penkhus of Colorado City, Colorado. It was converted to comply with DOT/EPA regulations by Amerispec upon its importation. Mr. Penkhus drove the car rarely and by 1986, offered it for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter that May. It was listed as only having 290 miles on its odometer. It was subsequently bought by David Livingston of Seattle.

In 1993, Mr. Livingston offered the car for sale, listing it as only having been driven 729 km from new. The car was purchased by its present owner in 1993.

Upon purchase, the car received a full service, including changing of the timing belts.

Currently, this car has been driven 729 km over the course of its life, making it arguably one of the best preserved examples in the world.
